Two Easy Dinners

by Meghann on February 25, 2014

Happy Tuesday!

Remember all those groceries I bought at Aldi last weekend? Well, those groceries eventually became meals and those meals were pretty delicious. What were those meals? Well, I’m glad you asked. Here are a couple of recipes from the week.

Start by cutting the asparagus and cherry tomatoes in half. Chop ham in bite size pieces.

In a medium pan, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add asparagus, ham, and tomatoes. Cook for a few minutes before adding spinach, walnuts, and pesto. Continue cooking until spinach is wilted and everything is hot.

Derek and I had this for dinner last Sunday. We were both craving some greens after a pretty indulgent brunch and this definitely hit the spot. The pesto gave a lot of every flavor and the walnuts gave a nice crunch.

Stuffed Mushroom Caps

Ingredients:

1 red pepper

1 garlic clove

2 Fit & Active Sweet Italian Sausages

1 cup tomato sauce

1 cup spinach

2 portobello mushroom caps

1/2 cup parmesan cheese

Preheat oven to 350.

Start by chopping the red pepper and garlic clove. Add to a hot pan over medium heat with a little olive oil. Cook until red pepper is soft and garlic is fragrant.

Slice the Italian Sausage down the side and empty into pan.

Cook until sausage is brown. Add spinach.

And tomato sauce.

While the meat is cooking, clean out the mushroom caps and bake for 5 minutes at 350.

Fill each mushroom cap with 1/2 meat mixture and 1/2 parmesan cheese.

Bake at 350 for 10 minutes.

Served with a side of broccoli.

Another delicious combination. This was a very easy weeknight dish to throw together after work. It’s even better with a glass of red wine on the side. 😉

Everyone seems to be loving Aldi lately. I love grocery shopping trips, seems like the one closest to me is in DC. I must give it a try 🙂Aishah @ Coffee, Love, Health recently posted..Stuck in Snow Traffic

Yummm, those mushroom caps look amazing! I’m a huge mushroom fan, so this is totally right up my alley! The Asparagus sounds delicious too, but my husband hates being in the same room as asparagus (in his opinion, anything that changes the scent of your pee should not be shunned), so I probably couldn’t get away with it!Stephanie @ My Freckled Life recently posted..WIAW: Creature of Habit Edition
